John Conduitt Posted September 28 · Supporter Share Posted September 28 This is something particularly good about Noonans - they show you the price including the fee while bidding, so you can easily account for what is always - even at lower percentages - a significant amount of money. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sale is phrased as if the consigner is deceased, would it be his estate setting a minimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to know why some (even just a few) spectacular coins like that weren’t removed for the collection of the beneficiary. Unless they were, I suppose… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably bought more coins (ancient and British) and British & French historical medals from Noonans over the last five years than from any other auction house. Their areas of expertise happen to coincide nicely with my areas of interest! Also, they put out very nice printed catalogs, which they are happy to send you for free together with your purchases.

There are a few oblique comments on this on the ancient coin podcast after he spoke with “someone” there, plus a statement by the host that his main (?) 5 customers had all canceled their bids through him. No doubt that will mean others come in hoping for lower prices but it’s a good start… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That podcast was claiming that a bunch of clients have pulled their orders when they realized the commission rate was so appalling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
